Celebrities extend support towards #FreeCyntoiaBrown campaign

After Cyntoia Brown - a victim of sexual abuse - was sentenced to life in prison for killing the person who made unwanted sexual advancement towards her, tried to molest and pick her up for sex, many imminent celebrities have come together on social media in her support.

Trending by the hashtag #FreeCyntoiaBrown on Twitter and other social networking websites, Hollywood celebrities have joined in on the campaign aimed primarily at liberating her.

However, does Cyntoia’s sentence indicate the failure of a system, or the entire world?

Aged only 16 when she was drugged and raped, Cyntoia was sold by pimp to a 43-year-old child abuser.

Prominent personalities like Rihanna and Kim Kardashian West have posted in favour of the campaign.

Now 29, many people believe that Cyntoia’s case was not dealt accordingly with changes in some state laws since her conviction.
